A former Au-Cu occurrence/mine located in the SEΒΌ sec. 25, T1S, R23W, SBM, about 4.8 km N of Riverside Mountain (6 miles S of Vidal), on private (patented) land. MRDS database stated accuracy for this location is 10 meters.
NOTE: USGS MRDS database file #10100848 presents MRDS file #10236915 as a related file; however, it pertains to another locality with a similar name.
Mineralization is hosted in schist and gneiss. The ore body is a vein complex striking NW and dipping 60NE at a width of 1.22 meters. Parallel quartz veins occur in gneissoid granite and schist. Local rocks include Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rock complex.
Workings include underground openings comprised of 2 tunnels. The lower tunnel was driven 490 feet SE on the vein with a winze 225 feet deep. The upper tunnel was driven SE 250 feet on the vein. The tunnels are connected by a 125 foot raise on the vein.
Production information: 20,000 tons of ore mined at an average of 0.4 ounce Au and 1-3% Cu/ton.
